2012 Photo-strip Hall of Fame: #9

Posted 1/16/13 in: Connecticut Featured Martha’s Vineyard Massachusetts New Hampshire / Northern MA / Southern ME Rhode Island Sidebar Vermont / Upstate NY

This series of photos from a wedding in Connecticut is so beautiful it should be considered a work of art. Capturing families sharing a moment in our photo booth is one of things that makes what we do meaningful. And again, if I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times: the quality of the images produced by our photobooths is the first thing guests comment on. Not only how clear they are, but how GOOD they look in them. Stay tuned for next weeks Hall of Fame strip. I’m not sure “meaningful” is the word I would use to describe it 😉

2012 Photo Strip Hall-of-Fame #10.

Posted 1/03/13 in: Connecticut Featured Martha’s Vineyard Massachusetts New Hampshire / Northern MA / Southern ME Rhode Island Sidebar Vermont / Upstate NY

Thought it would be fun to look back at some of the best work that our clients and their guests put together in our photo booths through out the year.  Inclusion in the 2012 Hall of Fame was entirely subjective and at the whim of one judge: Me (Geoff Gordon – owner of Photobooth Planet in Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts).   If you have enjoyed one of our photobooth rentals during the past year and would like to submit a photo-strip from your wedding or other event for consideration in the Photo-strip HOF, please email .jpgs to geoff@photoboothplanet.com

And so, without further ado, here is #10.  Chosen because there’s nothing like packing seven sweaty groomsmen into a confined space and taking a a few pictures for posterity.

Everyone Loves a Photo Booth – Especially Kids!

Posted 5/14/12 in: Connecticut Featured Martha’s Vineyard Massachusetts New Hampshire / Northern MA / Southern ME Rhode Island Sidebar Vermont / Upstate NY

Weddings really are an inter-generational celebration – from the great grandparents down to the flower girls and the ring bearer. It is a gathering of the people in your life (of all ages) who love you. Fortunately there are many inter-generational attractions at a wedding: amazing food, crazy dancing, and of course – the photo booth. Everyone loves the photo booth, but one group of humanity ESPECIALLY loves it: kids. They just can’t wait to draw the curtain in their cozy little space, press the big, green button, make silly faces for the camera, and then, THE BEST PART – wait for the booth to magically deliver their photo-strips. At Photobooth Planet, we encourage maximum use of the photo booth rental. We want the guests to use it over and over again and most of our littlest guests do go home with quite a stack of photos. But we also know how to politely make sure everyone gets a turn and that no one (of any age) takes over the booth. Here are some of my favorite photos of children having fun with the photobooth at a few recent weddings in Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Unparalleled Image Quality

Posted 11/03/11 in: Connecticut Featured Martha’s Vineyard Massachusetts New Hampshire / Northern MA / Southern ME New Jersey New York Rhode Island Sidebar Vermont / Upstate NY

 

If we’ve said it once we’ve said it a million times – not all photo booths are created equal.  Not only does that apply to the aesthetic appeal of the booth itself, but to the quality of the images the booth produces.  Photobooth Planet photobooths produce images of unparalleled clarity.  This is a function of superior digital photo technology and flattering lighting inside the booth.  It is the first thing guests comment on when the first see their photo-strips: they can’t believe how clear the images are AND how good they look in them.  This is important.  You want your guests to be impressed and delighted with the quality of their pics.  They will hang them on the fridge or put them on their desk at work.  But just as important is the impact high quality images have on the photo guest book we create for you.  It’s a keepsake you will have forever and your friends will want to look at when they come over.  You should have the best images possible in what will surely be a treasured album of once-in-a-lifetime memories.

Eleven Photobooth Rental Tips to Consider

Posted 8/09/11 in: Connecticut Featured Martha’s Vineyard Massachusetts New Hampshire / Northern MA / Southern ME New Jersey New York Rhode Island Sidebar Vermont / Upstate NY
A photo-guest book with black pages really makes the photo-strips POP!
  1. Have the photobooth available starting with the cocktail hour. Guests are often looking for something to do, and the curiosity factor is high.  You get more bang for your buck starting early than going late when most guests are focused on dancing and/or saying good byes.
  2. If possible keep the photobooth as close to the action as possible. You want the guestbook to be full and your guests to go home with a stack of photo-strips. The closer the booth is to the bar or to the dance floor the more use it will get.
